Advert Fail(1) You know those cheap advert spaces that require 25 words or less? Well the numbers might be few, but the hassle of sending a clear message with such few words makes one appreciate those who used telegrams. These are real advertisements that have appeared in newspapers:
  • Dog for sale: eats anything and is fond of children.
  • Vacation Special: have your home exterminated.
  • We do not tear your clothing with machinery. We do it carefully by hand.
  • Dinner Special – Turkey $2.35; Chicken or Beef $2.25; Children $2.00.
  • Used Cars: Why go elsewhere to be cheated? Come here first!
  • Wanted. Man to take care of cow that does not smoke or drink.
  • Auto Repair Service. Free pick-up and delivery. Try us once, you’ll never go anywhere again.
  • Get rid of aunts: Zap does the job in 24 hours.
  • Don’t let worry kill you – let the church help.
  • For those of you who have children and don’t know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
  • This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs Lewis to come foreward and lay an egg on the alter.
